There are many, many ways in which I love you,
As many ways as there are me’s and you’s:
Some pure, some not so pure, some hard above you,
Some soft and sweet below, some–well, you choose!
We’re animal and human and divine
All wrapped in one confused and messed-up ball.
I think sometimes with me it would be fine
If God would just decide to chuck it all.
But see the varied avenues of pleasure
Our multi-layered beings can enjoy!
Your flesh and heart equally I treasure
With all the pent-up anguish of a boy.
I long for both your body and your face;
I need both warmth and heat in your embrace.
